JOHN J. NEUBERT, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK.

ATTACHMENT FOR PANTS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 312.88%, dated February 24-. 1885.

Application filed May 5, 1884. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN J. NEUBERT, of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Attachment for Pants, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact descrip tion.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved attachment for pants, especially to those worn by boys, whereby the strain on the suspending buttons and buttonholes caused by bending, st-ooping, running, &c., is materially decreased.

The invention consists in the combination, with pants, of an extensible band provided with button-holes and held on the waist of the pants by elastic bands secured to the said extensible band and to the seat of the pants.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective View of a pair of boys pants provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is an inside view of the upper part of the back of the pants. Fig. Sis a cross-sec tional View on the line as 00, Fig. 2.

' The band A is provided with button-holes B, and ashort distancefrom each end the band is cut diagonally, and an elastic piece, Csuch as rubber band or like materialis sewed into the band-that is, to the said diagonal ends. Elastic strips or hands D are secured to the band A at their upper ends, and the buttonholes are also cut through the upper ends of 5 the said bands D. The lower ends of the elastic bands 1) are secured to a transverse band, E, which is sewed to the inner surface of the upper part of the seat of the pants A. The ends of the bands A are secured to the inner surface of the pants at the sides. The buttons on the Waist are passed through the button-holes B, whereby the pants are held on the waist and supported by the waist.

\Vhen the person wearing the pants bends orstoopsover-,theelaslicbandsDarestrctched, and thus the strain on the buttons and the button-holes is diminished,and the buttons are not apt to tear off or the button-holes to rip.

At the same time that the band is drawn upward it is lengthened. and means must be provided for permitting such lengthening, and for that reason I have sewed the elastic pieces 0 into band A.

The number of bands D can beincreased or M JOHN J. NEUBERT.
